We are often most terrified of the thing that makes us the most human, the ability to feel. We’ve created our own patterns through learnt behaviours of how we should perform, think and feel, yet is this pattern really making us happy?
To help me delve into this conversation a little further, I speak with Poppy Jamie who is one of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, podcast hosts and speakers in the mental wellbeing and mindfulness space.
Poppy is on a mission to democratise conversation and tools for emotional and mental health and she shares more on this in today’s episode.

Sleep is increasingly being recognised as the cornerstone for our health. Yet 36% of adults struggle to get to sleep at least once a week and, almost 1 in 5 have trouble falling asleep every single night.
In today's podcast, I speak to sleep coach Nick Littlehales who has over 24 years experience dedicated to improving elite athletes sleep and performance.
We uncover the science behind sleep and how we can optimise it for performance and recovery.

Psychedelic therapy is understood to harness a therapeutic window opened up by the brain effects of the drugs to facilitate insight and emotional release and, with psychotherapeutic support, a subsequent healthy revision of outlook and lifestyle.
In America, Oregon is legalizing mushrooms. Ketamine can be delivered to your home and people are micro dosing LSD to treat pandemic-related anxiety.
Dr Martin Williams is a research fellow formerly in pharmaceutical sciences and now in psychology at Monash University. His interests in psychology and pharmacology have led him towards the multidisciplinary study of psychoactive compounds and their roles in contemporary society.
In today’s episode, we explore the psychedelic renaissance and how we can harness these to treat and support mental health.

Prism : https://www.prism.org.au https://entheogenesis.org UK l https://psychedelicsociety.org.ukWhat is the future of tobacco use?
Do you remember the days when we could smoke indoors, restaurants and even hospitals? When smoking was a status symbol of being cool. Our mindsets to what is acceptable around smoking has shifted, yet what are your thoughts on a smoke free nation?
Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of illness and premature death, responsible for more than eight million deaths a year globally.
Dr Cother works in public health and epidemiology, working on preventing risk factors for chronic disease including; diet, smoking, alcohol, exercise and mental health. New Zealand plans to outlaw tobacco for anyone born post 2008, and the UK are planning to prescribe e-cigarettes to help smokers quit.

Climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century, so much so, that some people are making the decision to not have any children for the fear of where our world is heading. Well known celebrities such as Cate Blanchett speaks openly about suffering with Eco-Anxiety and has even launched a podcast surrounding it. So what is Eco-Anxiety? To help me explore this I speak to Anouchka Grose, who is a psychoanalyst who has written a book on exactly this.

In 2020, the UK women’s skincare market was worth £1.4bn – a sure sign of our eagerness to stop the effects of ageing. Yet when it comes to our teeth, are we taking as much care?
Tooth decay is one of the most common health problems in the UK. Over half of adults in the UK have one or more decayed or damaged teeth. Over half (nearly ¾ of) children aged 8 to 15 years have some tooth decay in their teeth.
To help us navigate the do's and don'ts, I speak to Harley St Dr Richard Marques.

It is time to break up with diet culture and stop trying to chase the ideal cure.
Diet companies and influencers capitalise on our system beliefs that there is a quick fix.
With the diet industry thought to be worth $60 billion, alongside an 80% failure rate, there is a lot of misinformed information.
To help you navigate the truth in what will help you lose weight and optimise your health, I speak to Cambridge geneticist and obesity expert, Dr Giles Yeo.

Calories are ubiquitous, and we can’t seem to escape them. Are we too fixated on them and should we be looking at a wider picture?
Giles Yeo MBE, a Cambridge University research scientist who studies the genetics of obesity, who looks at how our brains control food intake and play a critical role in modulating appetitive behaviour.
In this podcast we explore why looking simply at calories for weight loss could be flawed. How and why are all calories different and how does this impact our weight goals and overall health?
We explore the hidden truths behind sugar, and why in our western diet we consume such high amounts. Is sugar really addictive and are we aware of how much sugar we are consuming? How become more aware of sugar within our diets and overall how should we be approach our eating happens to optimise our best selves.
